    Grabbed a meal for the beach. Enchilada plate with verde sauce & avocado lime chile verde salad (one of the Friday specials). Each day there are meals made just for that day of the week. Enchiladas tasted great & the verde sauce was delicious. The chile verde pork was just on the edge of being too spicy for our taste but the flavor was excellent. My only complaint is I prefer refried or pinto beans rather than black beans. This is really a take out place because it's a house and there are only two small tables on the side that seat maybe three adults each. If in the area again I would definitely eat here a second time.

    So good. And like okay priced too. There's a student meal combo which is great, great bean rice burrito and the burrito bowl too so good. A little too much bell peppers in the bowl for my taste tho. Service: fire. Everyone is so nice

    Carne Asada burrito with no Rice!
    Rocio D.

    We drove all the way from San Gabriel Valley to enjoy some burritos from La Sirena. They used to have a location in Irvine, but after it closed, we searched for another and found this spot! Upon arrival, we quickly noticed the typical Laguna Beach traffic, especially on a beautiful Saturday with clear blue skies. Despite the congestion, we were determined to reach our destination. After navigating the long traffic, we finally parked. I ordered a Carne Asada Burrito without rice, opting for just rice and beans, just the way I like it. (Fun fact: I prefer my burritos with all the beans' juice creating a creamy texture. If you prefer a drier burrito, you might want to get rice on the side.) My husband ordered a Carne Asada with Shrimp Burrito without rice, and it was equally delicious. The chips and salsa were just as delightful. The ambiance of this establishment is fantastic, offering open-air seating for those who want to enjoy the ocean breeze or indoor seating for those who prefer to avoid it. This location is just as good as the Irvine spot was. I would probably visit again on a weekday when it's less busy, but if you live nearby, why not give it a try?

    Blackened Wild Salmon Salad
    Laura Y.

    Best Mexican food in Laguna Beach! The ingredients are so fresh and the portions are plentiful, especially the salads! We had the avo Lime Salad (carne asada), the blackened wild caught salmon salad, and two carne asada taco, and this was more food we could eat! We have never had so much avocados in our salads! The salad dressings and salsa are made fresh too! Loved that we could eat clean food, especially with the organic mixed greens, grass fed beef and wild caught salmon! The service was very fast and staff were very nice too. There are only two tables on-site and we were lucky to have a table available when our food was ready. The ambiance is very cozy, tucked away in the back streets, very local feel, as we could watch many locals, including students, stop by to orde and leave. We went there for lunch and ordered online for dinner yesterday (to grab and go). We are planning to eat there again today for lunch (grab and go eat at the beach). This place is a gem, not to mention that the prices are very reasonable. Finding quality fresh food/salads under $20 is rare these day.

    Veggie Breakfast Burrito Green Chile Burrito

    Staff was super kind and friendly. We got 2 breakfast burritos and they were both so so yummy! We'll definitely be coming back again after a morning hike.

    Salmon taco, mahi mahi taco, asada taco

    Great place to grab a bite. Wonderful customer service. Pretty small place but they do have few tables outside. They have about 2 tables few steps up, next to their restaurant. They're familiar with allergies as I'm allergic to gluten and dairy, Tried their fish of the day which was mahi mahi taco, it's so good. Tried their salmon as well - they have a big piece of salmon. The size of their tacos are pretty good size and not tiny, Tortilla soup advised as gluten free as well, and omitted the cheese - very tasty and not spicy, just enough saltiness, not too salty. If you sat few steps up on the table facing the street, you'll get lovely Mountain View and just sense of calm. This place is away from the crowdedness of the Main Street.

    Super fast Service. The portions are large. The food tastes great. They had a few booths and some seating outside but most of the seating were single bar chairs or small tables. Great beer menu (margaritas as well). I took family for lunch. Probably has a different vibe later in the day. Perfect spot for drinking with friends... lots of room to mingle and just chill. Order at the register and food delivered to the table. Salsa bar off to the side.

    Vege breakfast burrito was delish! Spicy salsa was also so so so good. I brought the chicken avocado lime salad back for my husband and he was so satisfied as well. The employee who helped me out was also so warm and friendly. If I lived in Laguna then this place would definitely be a staple.

Usually, I'd expect burritos to feel heavy after eating, but this one was full of shrimp & steak (surf & turf - my fav) with cheese & cabbage instead of rice & beans. Some may prefer the rice, beans, and cheese combo in their burritos, but I much prefer the protein-heavy, and veggies forward type of burrito that the taco stand serves. I split the burrito with my hubby thinking it was big, which I borderline regretted after taking a bite, because I'll need my own next time. It's just that good... & feels light on the tummy :) Service was no frills, and glad they have their own parking lot. Ambiance is super chill.. not an actual taco stand but there are plenty of seats both inside and outside the restaurant. Only one bathroom for all customers so that's not exactly the best for a pregnant woman like myself, but the burrito makes up for that too! The salsa bar was also quite extensive--we got everything to try, but the classic pico de gallo, smoky salsa matcha, and the green sauce did it for me. Chips and guac were classic delish as an appetizer, and so was the carne asada tacos, but the burrito is worth coming back for.

I ordered for my takeout the La Calle Taco Kit ($80), which included 2 pounds of meat (half steak, half chicken), cheese, black beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, salsa, onions, rice, 2 dozen tortillas, and limes. Bangers all around. The chicken was superbly spiced and tender, the beans soft and well spiced, the tortillas hot and fresh. Of the lineup, the strongest contender was the guacamole, which had the perfect mix of cilantro, lime, and creamy avocado, one of the best guacamoles I've ever had. I found the steak a little weak, being more beef shavings which were a little tough. Everything came together well to feed our group of five with plenty for leftovers the following day. Service was friendly and very, very fast. When calling in our order I was quoted 12 minutes. For such a large order during the dinner rush, this is commendable. Service was effusive and friendly, tailoring the order to our liking (half and half meat, half and half tortillas, the mildest of mild salsas, etc). Price, above, was very reasonable for the quantity of food in an expensive area. I went in with modest expectations but left quite impressed. Te felicito, Chelas!

Our waitress didn't ask what was wrong, didn't apologize, didn't seem concerned, and made absolutely no effort to fix the experience. She just dropped the Modelos on the table with an attitude that basically said, "Fine, you're a nuisance, here's your beer."

I normally tip 25-30%, but tonight I left 15% and wrote, "Thanks for forgetting my birthday" on the check. That pretty much summed it up.
